Just take a look at one of the few real-life air combat shots in the World War I movie

To be honest, the story of this film is almost to an awe-inspiring depth (it is impossible to explain the plot to the elderly when I watched it with my grandma. When I was watching Godzilla, I done). There are young farmers who have lost their farms, black boxers, failed bank robbers who evade the law, Harvard graduates who have proved themselves for their family reputation, small-town men who want to become heroes, and loyal followers. Although the plot is completely pieced together, it is estimated that the director and screenwriter have full confidence in the eye-catching aerial combat in the film, so they don't care about their own way of telling the story. Therefore, the level of comprehension of this film I set as: -6 years old and above-.
In addition to the embarrassing plot, the biggest highlight of this film is the description of the few real air combat scenes in the World War I movie. For those who like military and air chivalry, it can’t be missed. It can be used as an exploration. Look at the popular science documentary on the channel.
PS: The only character in the movie that is very promising is the priest pilot who sings "Christian Warrior" and shoots Zeppelin in the air. If he hadn't sacrificed in the film, maybe the sequel to tell his story would be very interesting.
In addition, is there anyone who can find the personal logo on the plane piloted by each pilot in the film? I am very grateful.
